frank hasn’t made a public statement in years lol and he’s surely not doing interviews where he has to be performative and convince us he’s a genius who knows chord progressions and timestamps on albums

• his interviews with zane lowe or nardwuar are insufferable; he likes to break down the theory and intentionality behind everything from the color palettes of his outfits to modulations in the bridge of a song, guy talks like he’s delivering a thesis it’s so forced

• he tries to control every aspect of how his albums are received, his rollouts feel like he’s begging to be considered a “visionary” with all his dumbass alter egos that end up sounding the same

• the constant reminders that “i do it all myself”: design, production, writing, comes off like he’s preemptively defending against being undermined, even when no one’s attacking

• he’s implied that he’s evolved past “basic” hip-hop by mocking trap beats, chains, and jordans but still borrows from the same culture when convenient (guest features with nba youngboy, rapping over dj drama)

• called his grammy win for igor a “backhanded compliment” because it won best rap album even though he submitted it in that category.

• he presents himself as this enigmatic, worldly tastemaker citing wes anderson, hiroshi fujiwara, and french jazz then randomly reverts to childish antics or corny punchlines, the inconsistency is more performative than authentic

• he gets irritated when asked if he still considered himself a rapper, “i’m a composer.” such a plea for status lmaoo

i could literally go on for hours, dude is cornball personified, a cry for attention but only the kind he needs to fuel his ego.

You’re part of why the “culture” isn’t fun anymore lmfao niggas can’t even share why they love s*** without mfs like you b****ing about it. You’d rather an artist just be brain dead and not talk about anything. I hate this for you brodie
